Breeding them is not a big problem if you have a pair. For me, the problem is to sex them. i dont know if my two are female and male. ive had many oscars in my life, and the problem is that, even if you have two females, they sometimes act like a pair and even lay eggs. ive you have a real pair in a big enough tank and dont keep them with to aggressive fish, it wont be a problem to breed them. my pair always laid eggs on a big flower pot. if you have fry, you need to separate the big ones from the smaller if you have the space, because they seem to be cannibalistic (spell). The water parameters were never a problem with my pair.
Hope this helps a little.
 
but what about water parameters .... as for sure water where i live differ than yours !! so ... i ll have the 5o small albino oscar and i can keep a small group for me as a 3 or 4 pairs until they got to be 2 years old and pair off i hope so ..

i think to breed them, a Ph Level of 7 or a bit lower would help.
but believe me, big tank with no aggressive fish or predators (best would be the oscars alone), and your oscars will do the rest.

Yes it is. Its an Allenbatrachus grunniens, dont know the american name. I have two of them. Both are about 8-9'' and are always together in their hiding spot. Hopefully they are a pair. I keep them in pure FW for over a year now, and they have grown like nuts. But its very hard to take photos of em.
 
ok thanks man so much they will be alone in a 225 liter tank ..
 
225l could be too small, dude.
If you have a full grown pair at12-14'', none of them can hide if they start a fight.
But it takes them loooooong to get that big.
